Morten St George Theory

[Linda]

It was very clever of you to have figured out that Shakespeare wrote the VMS marginalia.

Why do you characterize this as my achievement when I was attempting to outline your theory? Is this a belief of yours or not? It is not mine.

You cherry picked that image specifically for its preposterousness, to provoke JKP.  A wolf in bison skin. Disappointing. 

Even in friendly debate, you point out weaknesses in your opponent's arguments. I wouldn't read more into it than that.

In pointing out the first millennium Sagittarius, you pointed to the weakness in your own argument, since its style is nothing like that in the vms, and that was the point of discussion. Even if it was a progenitor of others, or one in a line thereof, the likeness of the vms version with its suspected copies would be with the style of those that followed, not with that one. I think you probably know that.

Your 6th century versus 7th century comment to JKP also seems to have been meant to cause dissonance. Unless i am mistaken, JKP places it a few centuries after the fall of Rome, and does not say which century specifically. You had placed its timing as 6th century in a comment to me, projected this idea onto JKP,  then questioned it of him, in what i can only determine as a means to create dissonic stress. 

There have been various other times when you have done similar things, like the above Shakespeare theory attribution, which you repeat subsequently. 

Pointing out weaknesses in theories is fine. Creating weaknesses in theories projected onto your opponent to defend, that do not actually exist, is another matter. 

And yet JKP is still trying to help you to see, despite all.

Yes, and I admire JP for continuing to post in this thread even though I so strongly disagree with many of his beliefs.

It is up to him as to whether to continue, as it is with each of us.
